Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 1

It was a cold, windy night as the rain poured relentlessly. Suddenly, a loud screeching

sound was heard when the car came to a sudden halt. A flash of lightning cracked through

the night shining on an elderly man’s pale face. He yelled, “Watch out, little one!” The car

spun out of control, slamming into the rock walls with a loud bang and plummeted over

the cliff. Leah Murray was startled awake from her sleep, her eyes widening in fear and her

face turning pale. The terror she felt in her dream lingered in her mind for a long time. She

wondered to herself, why is it the same dream again? Just then, the doorbell interrupted

Leah’s thoughts. Her husband, Han Howard, had finally arrived home. She had spent the

entire night waiting for him on the sofa. When she tried to get up, her knees almost gave

way. Luckily, Leah managed to regain her balance after grabbing hold of the sofa arm.

Han, who reeked of alcohol, shrugged off Leah’s presence and plopped down on a chair

some distance away. He did not even bother looking at the woman and instead supported

his head and closed his eyes to rest. Han’s good looks represented the best in a man. He

had an exceptional physique that was comparable to international models, as well as a

flawless face with delicate features. Han was once the dream man for every woman in

Linkville, thanks to his good looks and position as the richest man in the country.

Unbeknownst to the rest, a perfect man like Han was married. He had, however,

purposefully concealed his marriage to Leah for the past three years. Her expression

turned solemn at the thought of his cold and distant attitude. She saw the look of

exhaustion on his face and resolved to suffer in silence. “It’s late. I’ll prepare the bath for

you. Wash up and get some rest.” Leah was about to get up when she noticed Han had

opened his eyes. His gaze was aloof and unwavering. Han instructed, “Wait. I have

something to say to you.” Leah paused and turned around to face the man. She had a bad

feeling about the situation. “Molly will be coming over to stay soon. Pack your stuff and

leave,” Han said curtly. His tone made it plain that there was no room for negotiation.

Molly Lamere was no stranger to Leah. She had proudly announced that Han was her

boyfriend a few days before at a charity event. The shocking revelation was still a trending

topic across all social media sites. Leah tried her best to hide her disappointment and

asked flatly, “Are you asking me to vacate for the woman you love?” Upon noticing Leah’s

resistance, Han replied sternly, “You need to be clear of your position. Don’t you dare think

that you are Mrs. Howard.” Leah wanted to laugh at the absurdity of the situation. Her

position as Mrs. Howard was solidified by the marriage certificate. She recalled how Han

had mysteriously appeared when she was desperate to obtain money for her father’s liver

cancer treatment. Other than agreeing to his marriage proposal in exchange for money,

there were no other options. After marriage, Leah discovered that Han was a cold-hearted

man. However, she did not wish to accept fate without a fight. She challenged, “Well…

where do you expect a pregnant woman without family or friends to go?” “Go to the

hospital for an abortion.” There was no sense of pity or warmth in Han’s reply. Leah had

forgotten that he was a dangerous man. She immediately protected her stomach and

shook her head. “No!”
